THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM Tilt Sensor Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) communicates with the yawrate sensor (theft warning tilt sensor) via the CSIF communication line. The yawrate sensor (theft warning tilt sensor) sends information regarding changes in the vehicle tilt angle to the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU). The main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) checks whether the vehicle body is being tilted without authorization.

Tech Tips

In the following situations, the yawrate sensor (theft warning tilt sensor) may operate and cause the theft deterrent system to operate even when the sensor is normal.


  • The vehicle is transported by a ferry, trailer or train.

  • The vehicle is parked in a multi-story parking facility.

  • The vehicle is washed by an automatic car wash.

  • A tire blows out.

  • The vehicle is jacked up for a tire or wheel change.

  • An earthquake occurs or the road subsides.

  • Goods such as skis or snowboards are loaded or unloaded.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • If the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) is replaced, refer to the Service Bulletin.

  • When replacing the yawrate sensor (theft warning tilt sensor), perform zero point calibration.

PROCEDURE


  1. READ VALUE USING GTS (Tilt Sensor)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Main Body / Data List.

    5. Read the Data List according to the display on the GTS.

      Note

      After setting the theft deterrent system, wait at least 30 seconds (until the vehicle is in the armed state), tilt the vehicle (jack up the vehicle so that the tires are in the air) and check the Data List.

      Tech Tips

      When performing the above inspection, have the electrical key transmitter in the vehicle exterior detection area to perform certification (this prevents the alarm from sounding).

  2. CHECK YAWRATE SENSOR (THEFT WARNING TILT SENSOR)


    1. Using an oscilloscope, check the waveform.

      Condition Theft deterrent system is set (system changes from disarmed state to arming preparation state)

      Tech Tips


      • If the yawrate sensor (theft warning tilt sensor) is normal, an initial response is output in response to the HI input from the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU).

      • If the waveform output remains LO, there may be a problem with the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU), as there is no input from the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU).

      OK
      The waveform is output properly (HI is 6.5 V or higher and LO is below 1 V).

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (YAWRATE SENSOR [THEFT WARNING TILT SENSOR] - MAIN BODY ECU [MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU] AND BODY GROUND)


    1. Disconnect the P35 yawrate sensor (theft warning tilt sensor) connector.

    2. Disconnect the P9 main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      P9-15 (GCS) - P35-5 (CSIF) Always Below 1 Ω
      P35-1 (GND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
      P9-15 (GCS) or P35-5 (CSIF) - Other terminals and body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
